Abstract:
:The blood level versus time curve for unchanged cimetidine after a 200 mg oral dose has been determined in 20 apparently healthy subjects, ranging from 22 to 84 years of age. A significant relationship between the area under the curve (AUC) and age was found (r = 0.81; P less than 0.001). The peak concentrations of cimetidine were significantly inversely related to body weight (r = -0.71; P less than 0.001). The age-related increase in bioavailability of oral cimetidine, as measured by AUC, was probably due to decreased total clearance of the drug, which resulted from the opposed changes (by themselves not significant) of distribution volume towards a decrease and of half-life towards an increase with age. Reduction in the standard oral dose of cimetidine by one third to one half should be feasible in the elderly without loss of efficacy, and it may be advisable in order to obviate extreme individual responses that may occur in this population.
